IMPROVEMENT IN' GLOVES.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of thesame.

To all whom lit may concern.- g

Be it known thatI,`SIGMOND GOGE, of Brooklyn,

in the county of Kings, andState of New Yorl,'havev invented and made acertain new and useful'Improve-' ment in Gloves; and I d'o herebydeclarethe-follow-A between the strip and the leather of the palm-andfingers, and the .other between the strip and the leather of the outsideor back of the glove. These seams are liable to rip, particularly with,heavy gloves, and under. the movement ofthe lingers.

Fur-gloves have also been made with the palnnpieee and iirst and fourthngers of one piece of leather, and with the second and third-fingerpieces united by a straight seam to the -palm-piece; hence this straightseamcomes atthe point where the fingers bend, and is very objectionable,as the seam is pressed into the hand when any article is grasped.Besides this, the seam, runningacross 'the base of the second and thirdlinger, stifl'ens the glove at this point, and interferes with the freemovement of the hand in opening or closing the same.

- The nature of my said invention consists in a glove in which the palm,the second and third-linger pieces are cut', so that the seams convergeto a point toward the middle of the palm, thereby insuring a much bet-.ter-ttin g glove, and allowing greater freedom of movement to the hand,and the seams come between those portions of the palm ofthe hand' onwhich pressure usually comes; hence the seams do not injure the hand.

In the drawing- Figure 1 represents a complete glove.

Figure 2 shows the palm-piece a, and irstfinger piece l), andfourth-linger pieee s, in the shape in which they are cut from a flatpiece of material.

Figure 3 shows the piece of material for the thumb, the edges 1, 2, 3,of figs. 2 and 3, being sewed together to form the seam between the palmand thumb.

Figure 4 shows the second-linger. piece. This is united at the edges 4,5, and 6, with the corresponding edges of the piece, iig. 2.

Figure 5 shows the third-nger piece, that is united at the edges 6, 7,and 8, with the corresponding edges in fig. 4, and with the edges 6, 9,and 10 in lig.`2.

By reference to g. 1, it will be seen that the seams thus formedconverge to the point 6,'in the palm-portion of the glove, near thepointv toward which the palm of the hand contracts in grasping anarticle; hence the seams do not interfere with the bending orcontraction of the glove with the hand.

The material forming the back of the glove may he in one piece, cut outso as to be united to the edges of the leather or other material'forming the inside of u the glove.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The glove, formed with the seams of the second and third-iinger piecesconverging to the part 6 in he palm, substantially 'as and for thepurposes set orth.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my signature, this 4th day ofFebruary, 1869.
